THERAPEUTIC Guidelines and Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha) have announced a partnership to deliver evidence-based clinical resources that support decision making at the point of care to healthcare professionals.
The resources include Don't Rush to Crush, Australia's long-standing trusted guide to safely administering oral medicines to people with enteral feeding tubes or swallowing difficulties, and ObesiD, an industry-first resource providing dosage adjustment principles to support use of medicines in patients with obesity.
The new Don't Rush to Crush web app includes information on more than 600 oral medicines available in Australia, and will be available on Therapeutic Guidelines platforms from 23 Mar 2026.
Don't Rush to Crush is included in the Pharmacy Board of Australia's list of essential references for pharmacy practice.
ObesiD, which was developed last year (PD 04 Dec 2025), will be accessible through a dedicated web and mobile app, with features including an integrated body weight calculator, and will be available on Therapeutic Guidelines updates from 16 Mar 2026.
Additionally, Therapeutic Guidelines will produce guidelines for kidney and urinary medicine, as well as sleep disorders, while updates to the antibiotic guidelines will also be published.
AdPha chief executive Kristin Michaels emphasised the importance of safeguarding Australian expertise to uphold the care of Australian patients.
"We are so pleased to be working with Therapeutic Guidelines, combining our expertise to develop resources that meet the unique needs of Australian healthcare professionals and their patients," Michaels said.
"As our population ages and more people take more medicines, there is only one Don't Rush to Crush, Australia's indispensable frontline resource when managing risk and ensuring quality care for patients with enteral feeding tubes or swallowing difficulties, in all healthcare settings." KB
